StarCraft II Patch 1.5.2 Puts Arcade into the Wild

Turns out Diablo 3 isn't the only Blizzard game to get some tender loving care this week. Yesterday, the StarCraft II patch 1.5.2 went live and brought with it a ton of minor changes, bug fixes, and graphic improvements. The most significant of which is that the StarCraft II Arcade is finally out of beta, allowing for even bigger exposure to some of the great games that have been authored by the SCII community.

The StarCraft II Arcade has arrived! To make way for this new feature, significant changes have been made to the StarCraft II user interface. Two new buttons have been added: the Arcade button, which will act as a portal to a brand new custom games experience that features dramatic improvements in finding, rating and playing custom games, and the StarCraft II button, which will provide access to classic single player and multiplayer experiences, including the StarCraft II campaign, multiplayer ladder, melee maps and more.
